He discovered right away that the little sliding door which should have closed the opening through which the hens went in and out of the house was open, and then he remembered that he had left the henyard gate open the night before. Carefully Farmer Brown's boy examined the hole with the sliding door. "Ha!" said he presently, and held up two red hairs which he had found on the edge of the door.
Men on the highest seats popped their heads through the openings in the tent-cover and reported that a heavy shower was coming up. Anxious mothers began to collect their flocks of children as hens do their chickens at sunset; timid people told cheerful stories of tents blown over in gales, cages upset and wild beasts let loose.
Henry came to live hyeh." I paid no attention. "He was a right elegant Dominicker," he continued. I felt a little riled about the snapping-turtle, and showed no interest in what he was saying, but continued my functions among the hens. This unusual silence of mine seemed to elicit unusual speech from him.
I have a hundred hens and chickens about my yard; and not a parishioner catches a hare, a rabbit, or a trout but he brings it as an offering to me." Another of his correspondents at this period was the Mrs. H. of his letters, whose identity I have been unable to trace, but who is addressed in a manner which seems to show Sterne's anxiety to expel the old flame of Eliza's kindling by a new one.
They shrank back in horror at the prospect which, indeed, seemed little to the taste of the Chief himself. Presently he seized the two nearest by their matted manes, and flung them headlong in. With yells of terror they scrambled out again, and scurried off to the rear like half-drowned hens. The Chief screeched an order. Straightway the mob divided.
And the other hens all tittered. They always did, if the rooster expected them to. Well, if there was one thing that Henrietta Hen couldn't endure, it was to be laughed at. "Don't be silly!" she cried. "Why shouldn't I think it was morning, when he crowed almost in my ear?" "Don't you know why I crowed?" the Rooster asked her.
"Because I have seen you often enough, and your house and your mother, not to mention your cat and your pigs, and hens; but I've never seen him before to-day." "That's because he usually comes at night, and seldom stays more than an hour or two."
Again another was discovered underneath a hollow log. Being restored to accustomed places with due ceremony, and in sight of all the hens in convention assembled, a gratifying change in the size of eggs produced resulted in a few days, but again a slump set in. The nest eggs had disappeared, and the hens were fulfilling their contract anyhow.
And already nobody minded whether the gate was shut or not, and part of the great flock of hens were marching proudly about among the wilted posies, which they had stretched their necks wistfully through the fence for all summer. I heard the noise of spinning in the house, and my dog scurried off after the cat as I went in the door. I saw Miss Polly Marsh and her sister, Mrs.
I put into the incubator at a time when eggs were scarce and high priced, two hundred eggs hens' eggs, ducks' eggs, goose eggs. The temperature must be kept from 102° to 104°. The lamps blazed up a little on the first day, but after that we kept the heat exactly right by daily watching and night vigils. It engrossed most of the time of four able-bodied victims. Nothing ever was developed.
